This made me think of a few things; agape love between humans, the all encompassing, warm, soft, accepting and silent love that doesn't need any turmoil to stay true. Also, when I read it a second time, it made me think of the love shared between the great Creator and the child.

two things come to mind...
Ophelia drowning in Hamlet's silence- could be a good picture for your poem.

second- love is patient.
well written in a sea that embraces life or takes it- not sure which.

Nothing stronger than silence, when you find that special someone that makes you happy at all times, one is very fortunate. I too enjoyed our silences. Valentine

Yes, silences can be healing or they can make us remember the absence of another. Thank you so much... read moreYes, silences can be healing or they can make us remember the absence of another. Thank you so much.

This is beautifully written and definitely a strong example of a seemingly abstract love-story genre. Unfortunately, this is not my favorite kind of writing, so I cannot be wholehearted in my admiration for your careful word crafting & imaginative expressions of longing & love. I guess I relate more to something realistic with details that real people actually go thru as they live in a loving way. It's just a matter of personal preference, but I know many people go crazy over writing like this.

Silence is such a great topic for a poem, and you've described that topic wonderfully.

First of all, your visual presentation is amazing ... the picture and font really helped to set the mood of this piece.

As for the poem itself, it was well-written. The description and imagery was lovely. I loved the lines "The serenity in the ripples / the wild waves of you" ... they (like the rest of this poem) evoked a nice (almost ethereal) image and flowed with ease. I like it when a free-verse poem flows ... usually (especially on this site) free-verse is almost indistinguishable from prose, but nevertheless, this piece is poetic in every way

The lack of punctuation was also a good move ... it helped to create a sense of freedom, reminiscent of how it feels when in that "special moment of silence" with a loved one.

I have no critiques to offer ... you did great. Thanks for sharing.

Love came so overwhelming
telling me “Don’t fear this loving”
“Don’t fear the wanting”
wanting you never meant selfishness
we were given to each other
how else could we explain this in human words?

If only humans could understand the mysteries of heart :)....
loved the way you have used the image of water to depict the love of your loved one..
when you truly love someone even their silence is beautiful... you always capture the essence of the love and paint into a very beautiful art so that every one else can feel the divinity of it.. wishing you would keep painting your divinity for the world to admire it ...

In the "silences"-- when people we care for are not around that is when we realize just how much we miss them. That is when have a "renewal in the quiet expanses." That "renewal" can be a refreshing and cleansing experience. Well, that is just how your writing moved me.
The "water" of your poem creates a very fluid and refreshing and write👍

In all my days of wonderland I had yet to find that special something that made me want to strip my soul to nothingness and begin again. This is it!it is simply breathtaking an mesmerizing. Your writings have always brought warmth and companionship to a soul darkened by human experience but this one has ripped right through me conveying light, understanding,passion, and the undying admiration of why I call you a master.you make me see that I too can find what I am here for, that I like you can believe!1million kudos would not be enough.....so I extend my love and admiration to you dearest poet. You are so worthy!

Thank you so much, Queenie! This writing comes from a dark, deep place in me, and it makes me feel such joy that even there, it could bring you light.
